I quite like that SMC hugger emperor and the Nutone.. Interesting variation of the Studio Series.. That's a real bummer about the SMC..

As some of you may know, I have a disdain for 42" Originals, mainly because they are WEAK air movers. However, this is an exception to the rule... 42" Studio Series, c. 1986. This thing actually uses a 52" motor, and hauls ass. Habicrap coughed up another Original; c. 1990. Airmaster Mark I. Quite possibly the WORST industrial I have ever seen. I will probably pitch these (I have two) off a highrise... Little Slimline. Since it uses a Leviton pullchain, I'd say this one dates to 1980 (introductory year). Found blades for that queer little Union. Fanimation Ascension. While it isn't quite as fast as some other industrials, it still performs pretty nicely. 42" Moss (TAT) WF Series. Again, these things are absurdly overpowered, utilizing a 56" industrial motor for a 42" span.. seems legit. So I drove all the way to Washington for one of those Codep 100 spinners....aaand the guy wasn't home... greaaat. However, I then stopped at a salvage place in the area.. and it delivered. Ended up walking out of there with two Originals for $30... 36" black/brass Adaptair Original, c. 1981. Runs very well and is in pretty good shape. If you're thinking this is just my 48" Original put together and installed, think again. Yes, that's right.. I have TWO of these now. In terms of performance, this thing exceeded my expectations; it actually does move a fair amount of air.

Nice finds! By Washington, you mean DC right? What salvage place did you stop at? Just curious.

Alot of good stuff there.. Love that type of Evergo.. Those 42" Studio Series seems to be a bit rare among the other Hunter stuff.. Love the little 42" WF series too, also love the finish of that 42" Original..

Little Sidewinder is little. And I've finally acquired a Codep.. mmmmm. It's made by View Fan; the housing and switch cover are both stamped brass. Performance is pretty decent, but I expected that.

Well South Florida is dried up, They live 300 miles away in Orlando or surrounding areas which is central Florida, so unless they are buying everything on those Craigslist sites before I even see them listed, and besides there's plenty of Originals listed here they haven't gotten.. Lot's of stuff is popping up in Orlando now I've noticed anyways, and they do seem to travel very far to pick up Originals, Antiques, and industrials..

Sweet finds! I LOVE the baby Sidewinder. Almost looks like a roof-mounted exhaust fan painted black with blades attached to the side of it.

I didn't knew Hunter Originals in this size are weak for air movement. I thought they just had a bad range of speeds. I like how they look in this medium size.

Lot's of stuff is popping up in Orlando now I've noticed anyways, and they do seem to travel very far to pick up Originals, Antiques, and industrials.. I can cover Pensacola to Jacksonville and often go to Gainesville for work, so I have quite a range especially when stopping on the way back from a work trip. Mark can cover Jacksonville to south of Orlando. I've picked up fans as far south as Stuart when at a conference there last year. In fact that Stuart trip yielded 5 originals and an Emerson 1895, four of which are sold and gone. Also I have gone in to southern Alabama and Georgia for fans since I live near both state lines. Plus Mark and I find each other stuff all the time. So we work together to find good fans rather cheaply.
Additionally, I go to Texas twice annually to visit my parents and have found really nice fans there.

You really find a lot of nice fans. I especially like that little sidewinder, I'm sure it could clean up nicely. I also like that SMC and the originals. What exactly is wrong with the 42" originals? Or are they just weak compared to other originals?

Not only are they weak compared to other Originals, they're weak in comparison to other 42" fans in general. The 42" Original was good in concept, but horribly disappointing with its execution; I mean, they only gave it a 10.5 degree blade pitch, and it's not much faster than the average 42" fan.

Is it from 2002 onward?
